Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Mine was 2 months apart then they called me to come in for the final one before surgery. This was the first visit by myself. Then 2 months later with my support person aka my hubby. Then they called me to come in 5 days before my sugery to sign papers. There all different honey but this was my experience.

i came back the first time in like 2 weeks, then it was a month, then two months,, went that way until i hit my 9 months, now i don't go back until December, my anniversary month, blood work, ewwwww. i would think it all depends on you and your Dr. I have learned that some Dr.s are very different from each other, even down to the 2 in the same office that i go to. one will let you have a little bit of sugar, but not mine no sugar at all in those first few months, etc.. Just follow your doctors advice.

I went to the seminar July 3rd....1st appointment was July 12th...we did labs, EKG etc on that visit. Had my psych visit July 13th...and once released from that (took a couple of days), surgery was scheduled August 1st!

my 3 month anniversary is today and I'm down at least 62 pounds (I didn't weigh this morning...it could be 63!)
